The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1464 Preparations for Invasion
It's not just Edward who is happy, Marin is actually happy too. Because, if the large tracts of land west and south of the Earl of Ulster are really reclaimed as farmland, Edward will certainly benefit now. However, sooner or later the future will benefit Caesar.
That piece of land now belongs to the Irish natives, and belongs to the fertile land on the island of Ireland that is more suitable for farming. But there have long been Irish natives living and multiplying there. If you want to get these lands, you must have a bloody storm. And this kind of evil thing, Marin thinks it is better to let Edward come forward to do it. Let your son Caesar be a positive figure. As for the bad things of killing people and grabbing land, it would be better for his father-in-law to finish it.
As for letting Edward "get the box lunch" afterwards, Marin has no guilt. why? Because Edward was supposed to be killed by Henry VII in 1497. I helped him "revenge", let him live for more than ten years, and kept a daughter, which is considered to be earned...
The most important thing is that if this time the troops are sent to occupy the entire territory of Ireland, then Edward will really become the first monarch in British history to completely control the island of Ireland, and also the first British king to annex Scotland and Ireland together. Even after death, the title of "Great Emperor" is indispensable. Just like Julius Caesar, although he was assassinated, he left a great reputation in history. Anyway, Edward is worth it...
...
After Edward agreed to the plan to annex Ireland, he discussed with Marin the specifics of sending troops. Originally, a small rural place like Ireland could be swept away by sending an army of 20,000 casually. Originally, in the "Nine Years' War" (1594~1603) when Elizabeth I unified the island of Ireland, the British army sent 17,000 troops at its peak. Earlier, there were only 6 thousand troops.
Of course, the reason why this war to unify Ireland lasted for 9 years was because the Spanish Empire supported the native Irish forces behind it. After the defeat of the Spanish Armada to the United Kingdom in 1588, the Spanish Empire became furious and supported the aboriginal forces of Ireland from the sea to launch a rebellion. With the support of the Spanish Empire, the war was only fought for 9 years.
What's even more tragic is that Elizabeth I belched as soon as the "Nine Years War" was won, and it was too late to enjoy the benefits of victory. Enjoying the victory is James I from Scotland...
But it is different now. France and Spain, which are most likely to support the local Irish forces, have all put their main forces on the Italian battlefield. At this time, the aborigines on the island of Ireland basically fought alone. It is almost impossible to persist for several years like the original "Nine Years War" in history.
...
It stands to reason that Edward sent an army of 20,000, and he could easily sweep away the isolated and helpless indigenous forces on the island. However, Marin's words reminded Edward - if the island of Ireland is unified this time, he will be the first monarch in English history to completely conquer the islands of Britain and Ireland.
Therefore, Edward decided - the royal driver personally conquered...
After all, for such a prestige matter, as the king, he must personally do it. As for the rear instability? France is equally unstable. It is estimated that the French will die of joy when they hear about their personal conquest...
Then, it is time to discuss which troops will go out...
Both Edward and Marin of the Fifth Army stationed in Scotland did not want to move. After all, Scotland was not stable for a few years after it was defeated. God knows what would happen if the garrison was taken away.
Speaking of which, if Marin hadn't drawn thousands of Scottish Highlanders to join the Sixth Army, maybe Scotland was rebelling right now.
Therefore, the only ones that can be transferred to Ireland are the Fourth Army of the North Sea State stationed in Newcastle and the two armies in Edward's hands.
But London must keep people, and your own safety is also very important...
In the end, Edward decided to take the most powerful Guards under his command to Ireland, leaving the new regiment stationed in London.
Although the combat power of the new legion is a bit ordinary, it is still no problem to defend the city of London. Besides, the French couldn't spare any troops to attack London at this time. At most, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty will take the opportunity to cause trouble. But in the face of 10,000 new legions, the troublemakers can't afford to make waves.
As for Marin, you need to send the Fourth Army to fight. At the same time, Marin also offered to send the Sixth Army to assist in the battle...
...
The reason why Marin proposed to send the Sixth Army to participate in the battle is because the Sixth Army has not participated in any decent battles since its establishment, and only participated in the sporadic battles of "door-to-door raids" in the later period of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms.
But that is basically not a battle, because the main forces of the princes of the eight countries have been wiped out. At that time, when they came to the door, they basically took advantage of the situation and there was no challenge.
Therefore, taking advantage of this Irish unification war, Marin decided to send the Sixth Army to help. Not for anything else, just for training.
In addition, with the Sixth Army participating in the battle, Marin did not intend to send all the Fourth Army. He planned to have 10,000 troops in the Fourth Army, but only dispatched 5,000 troops. The other half of the troops will continue to be stationed in Newcastle to protect local security.
Now, Newcastle has become an important salt cooking center and coal export center under Marin's rule, and there is no room for loss. Moreover, the 15,000 army, plus Edward's 10,000 army, a total of 25,000 people, is enough to abuse the aborigines on the island of Ireland.
In addition, Adler, Earl of Wicklow, who stayed in Wicklow County, will also bring most of his knights and more than a thousand lords to the battle this time. Adler will never give up this kind of opportunity to abuse food...
...
Subsequently, both England and the North Sea State began to actively operate, preparing for the upcoming war.
The so-called preparation is naturally to prepare sufficient supplies for the army. Marin doesn't need to prepare much, the supplies are sufficient, and it is actually Edward who needs to prepare.
Moreover, this war was fought for Edward. Therefore, although Marin has sufficient supplies, he will not be taken advantage of. Therefore, the materials and food for this war need to be paid by Edward.
And Edward is not Marin, and he couldn't get the supplies and food needed by the 25,000 army for a while. Therefore, everyone has to wait.
...
Of course, Marin is not a second-hand waiter. When Edward was raising supplies, Marin sent his spies, disguised as various identities, such as French businessmen, to various places in Ireland to inquire about news and draw topographic maps to prepare for the army's actions.
Back then, before the devils invaded China, they also dispatched a large number of spies in advance, disguised as Chinese people, traveling around the mountains and rivers, but actually drew topographic maps to prepare for the devils' invasion.
"Ah, bah, I'm not a devil!" Thinking of this, Marin shuddered, and in his mind, the North Sea army, each with a mustache and bowed legs, was burning, killing and looting fiercely in the villages on the Irish island. The picture... This picture is too nasty, Marin dare not think about it...
Speaking of which, the role they played this time is really an invader for the Irish. However, even if Marin doesn't make a move this time, the future King of England will make a move when conditions permit. Therefore, it is better to act now. What's more, the notorious backer of the invaders has been found——Edward...
